A thirteen-year-old girl from Mildenhall got more than she bargained for when she decided to go metal detecting with her Dad.

Milly Hardwick couldn't believe her eyes when she stumbled across a bronze age axe hoard in a field near Royston.
Experts think the artifacts date back to 1300 BC.

Her finds so far have earned her a spot on the front page of The Searcher magazine, and she's already building up quite a reputation.


Milly goes on organised digs with her Dad and Grandad - with the landowner's permission and she rarely comes back empty handed.

Unsurprisingly - Milly wants to be an archaeologist when she's older but for now - her hunt for buried treasure continues.
